There is an easy solution - do it in your window controller. Since it is 
responsible for opening and closing the windows, it knows when to cause these 
other events as well. I wouldn't use window activation or key notifications 
since that relates purely to its appearance which likely as not has nothing to 
do with your logic as such - the window coming up and going away are further 
effects of this logic, not its causes.
